German Santa

By boopsie, 14 December, 2008
Description

been in family for many years.  In excellent condition.  The sleigh is hand carved wood with metal runners.  The santa has no damage other fading.  The celluloid reindeer are not dented, one was a replacement.  The leather harnesses are very old an brittle and the reins are the original twisted cord, also very fragile.  The reindeer's hooves fit into grooves in the white wood board on which they stand.  There are six reindeer about 5 inches long.  Tried to upload photos and it will not allow.
